how do i record sales in a chart

RE: excel

Hi Sue, Thank you for your post, welcome to the forum, in answer to your question, if you have created a worksheet in which you are recording your sales, you have two options, do you want to display totals in your chart or just the values as they are entered;
If you wish to display the totals for each item, create your worksheet and in it SUM the individual items, either in rows or columns, select the Labels and the Totals only, Press the F11 (function 11) key and you will see your chart on a separate sheet.
If however you wish to display the values in your chart, create your worksheet, and this time select the Labels and the Values, (not the totals), again press the F11 key and your chart will be displayed on a separate sheet.
Now that you have your chart you can format it, change its style (type) etc. etc.
If you wish the chart to appear on the same sheet as your data, select the data as above, (totals or values) and then click on the Chart Wizart button on the Standard Toolbar, and follow the steps to create your chart.
I hope that has helped, if it has please click the Resolved link, best regards Pete.


 

Excel tip:

Autonumber in Excel

To create an autonumber field, can use the Offset() function.

In cell A1, enter the number 1.
Then in cell A2, enter this formula:

=OFFSET(A2,-1,0)+1

Then copy the formula from cell A2, down as far as you need.
